"DeSantis Shifts Focus from New Hampshire to South Carolina in Bid to Gain Haley's Support"

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis plans to head to South Carolina after the Iowa caucuses instead of going to New Hampshire, in a move seen as targeting his rival, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. DeSantis aims to send a message to Haley by focusing on her home state and has more endorsements from current and former elected officials in South Carolina than she does. This decision comes as a CNN/UNH poll suggests Haley is gaining ground in New Hampshire. DeSantis intends to compete for delegates in New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, with plans to participate in a CNN town hall in New Hampshire after his event in South Carolina.
